Absolutely Worth the Drive!

This place has that classic diner vibe with truly outstanding food. My husband and I found it by chance during a weekend drive, and we’re so glad we did. We live in Winnabow, NC—over an hour away from Jacksonville—but we now make the trip about once a month just for brunch.

On our first visit, I tried Chicken & Waffles for the very first time (I’m originally from Massachusetts), and it instantly became one of my all-time favorite meals. My husband enjoys trying something different each visit, but I always stick with the Chicken & Waffles—they’re that good!

Consistently delicious food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere make this little gem a must-visit!

In town from Michigan, this was our first time visiting. My daughter who lives down here recommended it for breakfast. We’ll prob be back tomorrow morning too and every time I’m in town from now on, it’ll be my breakfast place. Food was excellent, service was fast, friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was great and the sanitation score of 99.5 made me all the happier to eat there and offer up my review and solid recommendation to anyone considering whether or not to try eating there.

Food looked and was delicious. Had the catfish sandwich with sweet potato fries and my husband got the same thing but regualr fries. Everything was steaming hot which made it better just try not to burn your tongue. Catfish did taste a bit like dirt which means it was a bit bigger than the best taste but it was still good.

My wife and I went here for dinner a few Saturdays ago. The atmosphere is great and the food is really good! It feels a little tight in there but comfortable! The service is kind of a hit and miss depending on your waiter or waitress, however, everyone seems very nice!

The Kettle Diner is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, the customer service was PHENOMENAL. Every staff member greeted me with warm, genuine smiles and made sure I felt welcomed and well taken care of. As a person of color, I truly appreciated the hospitality and kindness shown to me—it made the experience even more special.

The atmosphere inside is cozy and homey, and it’s clear that this place has maintained its charm over the years. Even though I hadn’t visited in a while, the amazing service and delicious food haven’t changed a bit. The menu offers an abundance of choices, and the desserts on the counter were fresh, cold, and ready to enjoy.

The location is super convenient, situated near Jacksonville Town Hall and the sheriff’s office. The restaurant itself is clean and well-kept, though the outside could use a little TLC—parking and some concrete repairs would go a long way.

I also love that they offer online ordering for delivery or pick-up! It’s a great option for those who want to enjoy their food at home. However, I did find it a little difficult to locate them on Instacart, so I’d recommend using their website instead for a smoother experience.

The wait time for my to-go order was minimal, and the prices are very reasonable. For three people, the bill came to less than $40, which is a great deal for the quality and portion sizes.

This small business is clearly thriving and is a wonderful asset to the community. It’s the perfect spot to bring grandparents, family, or friends for a relaxing meal. The staff’s camaraderie gives off a true family vibe, making the experience even more enjoyable.

My only critique is the exterior maintenance, but even with that, The Kettle Diner deserves a solid 4.5 out of 5. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service!

A pleasant place to dine. Overall, the food was good, except the country fried steak. It tasted and looked prepackaged. The buffalo chicken wrap was really tasty. The fries were excellent, and the service was friendly and professional.

Everything I’ve tried here has been so ridiculously good! Good prices and staff. I was a little hesitant at ordering chicken hibachi from a diner, but it was better than a hibachi from a hibachi restaurant! Yum yum sauce was delicious. I’ve had the sandwiches and pancakes as well and they are awesome as well.
